RE: just got my dog
Will, just catch your breath a minute. Now, think about this, your dog is only 7 weeks old for crying out loud! Would you even think of instilling discipline in a newborn child? Let pup adjust to his new surroundings, let him get accustomed to you and your family, and get your rear end to a book source center and pick up a training book to follow based on your long term plan. All of the obedience will come in due time. You are teaching your dog each and every day how to function in it's new world, and what to do and not to do. Here are some suggestions for authors who know their stuff: John and Amy Dahl, Paul and Julie Knutson, Evan Graham, James Free, Jim Dobbs and many others.
Good Luck
